Colorado Supermarket Shooting Suspect Pleads Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, Charged with Multiple Counts of Murder and Attempted Murder, Deemed Competent for Trial

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the defendant in the 2021 mass shooting at a Colorado supermarket, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Alissa is charged with 10 counts of murder, 15 counts of attempted murder and other offenses related to the shooting that killed 10 people.
The plea of not guilty by reason of insanity suggests that Alissa's mental health prevented him from understanding right from wrong when the crime was committed.
Alissa, who has schizophrenia, was recently deemed competent to stand trial after being forcibly medicated.
Authorities have not determined a motive, but a forensic psychologist testified that Alissa bought firearms to carry out a mass shooting and indicated an intention to commit suicide by cop.
